Bixby > google assistant?

In my experience I was able to get Bixby to do more BUT he was not as responsive to the call as Siri is. I can NOT recall a time when Siri has not responded to "Hey Siri" Bixby runs about 50%, sometimes I just HAVE to press the button, which I guess is easy enough. HOWEVER Bixby can do more complex operations such as turn on the flashlight (which shouldn't be THAT hard of a task, but Siri just can't manage it). And he can open and app and THEN take an action.

Who here is using Bixby rather than GA? I decided to go all in instead of trying to use Bixby for certain things and GA for others. I knew I would favor GA because it's familiar.

I found that Bixby is very capable but a bit clunky. It has to launch apps and can't provide information in its own interface. So getting directions means waiting for Bixby to launch the app find home start routing and then present an ETA. not the end of the world and I'm sure it'll improve. Other things that GA can't do like scrolling, swiping, and turning settings on and off are awesome.

Thoughts?

I applaud your courage. For me it doesn't respond to voice commands 50% of the time and 25% of the time the desired app open and closes in a millisecond. And it often opens the wrong app. Maybe I'm not spending enough time with it.

Depends what you want it to do. I've never used google assistant, cause I've just never had the desire. But I often want to set 30 minute timers, or set a reminder alarm for 7:30 etc. So I use Bixby a little bit.

The best thing about Bixby vs google assistant for me is, Bixby can wake up and take action from the always-on display screen. an example, when there are notifications on the always on display Bixby can read (or show) them, then clear them. google assistant "cannot even see your notifications" so she says. Bixby can clear memory, optimize phone, all while sitting on the dest without touching the device. I also find "turn on wifi calling" handy. google assistants gives me a "here is information from apple support" response. uh okayyy(?)
Bixby shines when it omes to phone-specific items that google just cant do. and google assstant at knowledgebase the Bixby cant do. yet, anyway

I don't understand why this bothers you. It's a new feature. It's not like this forum is so busy that we can't have a few threads discussing different things about Bixby.

Anyway, I don't agree that Bixby is better than OK Google. It can do a few things with the settings and certain apps that GA can't really do but GA is better for other things like web searches, game scores, etc.. Bixby is so sloooooowwwww too. I find GA much quicker. I've already gotten annoyed with Bixby and have gone back to GA.

I am torn on which one to use...I have tried this Bixby but it doesn't seem to work like when I had Google now, but looks like they got rid of Google now....how do I get it back? Or is Bixby actually better?

Edit: I use both. Bixby for controlling the phone ( turn on wifi, open the gallery, turn on performance mode)
Google now for opening most apps ( Open Spotify and play Ed Sheeran, whats the weather like today?, wheres the closest gas station?)

Yea I noticed that..... the only thing is I use a third party messaging app and that only works with the stock messaging app...I tried, but with Google, I just say "ok Google" and text who ever and it does it with whatever texting app for using....but your right Bixby is synced up to everything in your phone

You should be able to ask Bixby to open the specific third party text app & then text what ever you want.

Also have found that the way commands are stated matters.
For example if you ask Bixby to flip a coin, it will pull up web results.
OK Google will flip the coin & tell you heads or tails.
If you change the wording to "heads or tails", both will tell you the results.

Each AI is unique & can be of benefit. It is just learning how they specifically work.

Yea like when I ask Bixby how long will it take me to work, it will give me web sites, and when I did it with Google it gives me maps and tells me how long it will take me to get there....unless I am saying it wrong with Bixby?
